Great food and service. The blackened tilapia and Mac & cheese were both amazing! I'll be back! read more

We were very pleased to walk into this very special feeling dining room! A nice southern feeling yet very comfortable for everyone to feel welcomed. The menu had lots of our favorites so we will be back to try more items! Today we started with the poppers which were great! Then we each selected a different type of quiche with crab soup. We even brought home a piece of pecan pie. Everything was delicious. Put this place on your must try list! read more

Enjoyed our dining experience! Felt like we were dining at a friend's house. Had the Reuben as recommended by our server, Stacy. It was delicious. Hubby had the Chicken Croissant. Lovely dining experience. We will be back. read more

Top quality service! Pat and company arrived and took control of the house in an efficient and friendly manner. Everything was set up perfectly and the party guests were well fed and taken care of. The food was OUTSTANDING! From the ham biscuits, the stuffed mushrooms, to the lemon, blond, and fudge brownies. Everything tasted fresh, well tempered and seasoned. If I were living in the Valdosta area, I'd be using Covington's often. Nice folks. read more

Clean, modestly elegant and the food is what I would describe as the ultimate Southern tearoom dining experience, from decor to deliciously dated southern service. Broccoli salad was best I've had on a while. Wild mushroom and wild rice soup creamy, but not too heavy...and delicious. Chicken and artichoke lavash done to perfection. Well worth the extra 7 minutes to get there from I-75. read more

Covington's Dining & Catering - Southern Elegance at Modest Prices - Diners Near Me - Valdosta, Georgia

This review is for their catering service. My Mom used Covington's to cater a lunch party and from what she told me, they were great to work with and she was able to pick and choose menu items and even add on a few extra plates at the last minute. So the customer service was really wonderful. And the 2 ladies who served the meal were fantastic, very courteous and on the ball. The downside was the food. The main course was to be a hot chicken salad on a croissant, unfortunately the chicken salad was no where near hot. When I took a bite, some of the chicken was slightly warm and some was completely cold. Two bites and I was out. The cheese & chive biscuits were like little hard hockey pucks. The fresh fruit and grilled asparagus were fine. The lemon bar dessert was worthy of only a few bites. What I did like was the squash casserole, I was still hungry after the meal and wish I could have just had an entire plate of that. And kudos on the sweet tea not being overly sweet. The price was right, I believe around $15 a person and service was very friendly. I would just urge someone using the catering service to stick with cold dishes, then you shouldn't run into the problems we did. read more

This is my go to for a nice lunch that is very reasonably priced. They recently renovated the building and it has a refreshing and regal atmosphere. The owners along with the staff are extremely friendly and professional. I have had my wedding catered along with other events and they are top notch. Sue is always willing to go the extra mile to make it extra special. I love their chicken salad, it is my favorite! They also have great lasagna and chicken divan if you order it ahead by the pan it makes a great meal for the family when we don't have time to cook. read more

It is all I can do to not order the lasagna every time I go there, but I decided to try the shrimp salad plate. It had an adequate scoop of shrimp salad in the middle, along with congealed salad, a cinnamon roll, fruit including strips of pineapple, honeydew and cantaloupe, along with a few grapes and a strawberry. Very nice presentation. My only issue with it is I really didn't consider it shrimp salad. It was small, apparently thawed from frozen shrimp with a tad of liquidy mayo and celery. It wasn't bad....just not what I consider shrimp salad of any kind. I had sampled their chicken salad at a catered event and thought it was wonderful (and I'm very picky about chicken salad), so maybe my expectations were a bit high. Still won't keep me from eating there 2-3 times a week. read more

Covington's Dining & Catering - Special 4/9: grilled tilapia with mango salsa, roasted veggies, grits cakes topped with shrimp sauce & pieces of shrimp. Yum. - Diners Near Me - Valdosta, Georgia

Covingtons has ruined its once flavorful Savannah Crab Stew by now using cheap fake crab meat rather than native blue crab to make it. I hope Covingtons hasn't started using other cheaper ingredients in their other menu items. I also hope they shall return to their original recipe soon. read more

This is definitely not the best food. My family came here for the sandwiches and were greatly disappointed. I had the chicken and artichoke lavash, which was covered in cheese and had tons of cheese within the sandwich. It was also not even on flatbread like the waitress stated it was. It was encased in a tortilla which was then so heavily grilled with cheese that I ate two bites and refused to eat anymore. My sandwich came with broccoli salad that was ok, but nothing special. My husband had the chicken salad, but even that was missing flavor. My children had the French dip and spaghetti. Do not get the French dip! Ugh! It was lacking seasoning. If they are serving that as part of their catering they should reevaluate their business. The best was the spaghetti but the noodles were overlooked. Overall, this place is a bust! read more

As a professional wedding photographer I eat catered meals almost every weekend. I am always happy to see the Covington's vans pull up. Food is always ready on time, and tastes great! read more

I remember their chicken salad and cinnamon rolls most of all. They do sweet tea well, too! I've never been disappointed by a dine-in, take-out, or catered experience from Covington's. If you're in downtown Valdosta, you should really give them a try. This is Southern food...but not the usual fried, barbecued, boiled veggies kind of "Southern." I always try to stop in when I'm in Valdosta. read more

We regularly have them cater lunches at the office. Favorites are the chicken divan, lasagna, and beef tips with grilled peppers. I also have one desert every birthday. One. It is a French Silk Pie from covingtons!! OMG it's the bomb. I need one just from writing this. Can't overlook that Covingtons is a family owned and operated small local business!! Stan and Sue Cox are awesome and Amy, their daughter, is just as awesome in taking care if your needs from a simple lunch to a fully catered event for 300 people!! Seriously they are one of the only place in town that I would trust a large event too. read more

Love the chicken divan and the chocolate silk pie!! Great catering services!

Covingtons is consistently excellent. Very friendly staff. Great place to get a delicious lunch in elegant atmosphere.

If you live in the Valdosta are, I mean in 150 mile radius, and you see the Covington's Van at a function, you know that you are in the the sweet Zone! These folks know how to cook at the restaurant and at the catering level. You will not find a better restaurant, never, no where. My son raves over the cheesecake, if he can save room. But, there's always room huh?. Don't miss Covington's nor 306 north. (Yes I reviewed that one as well!) read more

My family went to Covington's as part of a much larger party (45). Everyone had preordered their choices. My family was the first people there. We were seated in a timely fashion. But were the very last table to have our order taken. They ran out of our preordered choices and was left with no choices and had to eat fish - I hate fish. They also ran out of our vegetable choices. Although arriving first, we were the last table served. The portions were not uniform. I had a much larger portion than my husband. The waitress had a very bad attitude, but in her defense, they did not have enough help and she was very overworked. I will NEVER use them again, and suggest anyone else using them get some kind of guarantee that you will get the meals YOU CHOSE AND PAY FOR. read more

Love, love, love Covingtons. Best place to eat lunch. Food is always fresh and delicious! Lasagna is the best and also the Chicken Salad Wrap. I hate broccoli but their Broccoli Salad is very tasty! It's the only broccoli I will eat. Never had a disappointing meal and try to go there a least once a week if not more! read more

The hot chicken salad on croissant... just get it. It was the best chicken salad I've had and while I normally don't like mayo based salads hot, someone next to me suggested it and I'm so glad I listened. Also, the chocolate silk pie was delicious and a perfect way to finish out a decadent lunch. Even the fruit on the side was a great mix. My coworker had the key lime pie and I thought that was just average. Great lunch spot - will definitely come back next time I'm in Valdosta! read more

We used Covingtons to cater our holiday event. Everyone was very professional and the food was outstanding. There was a minor mix up in how the buffet presentation was suppose to be but the servers fixed it on the spot. This is the second event that I've been to by Covingtons and I have been impressed both times. We had the chicken alfredo, lasagna and cheesecake bar. You won't be disappointed!! read more

As always, I was not disappointed at all in my most recent visit. Everything we had to eat was good. The crab soup was very tasty and not too rich. My chicken artichoke lavash was grilled perfectly with a side of the famous broccoli salad. We finished off the meal with French silk pie which was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient . The decor is pleasant and not overwhelming. Locals know and patronize both the restaurant as well as the catering. read more

Had a very unpleasant experience! I called in a to-go order and went to pick the food up about 30 minutes later. First the restaurant smelled like a soured dish house and the smell upset my stomach. When paying, I asked they lady at the register if they offered military discount. Instead of just simply saying no ... she had a sour attitude and told me how they can not afford to give a discount and how they do not make any money. I decided not to leave a tip since I called in the to-go order a head of time and still had to wait over 10 minutes for them to bring me my food; plus the lady at the register being rude. When I was checking my account a few days later the amount charged to my account from this restaurant was more than the amount on the receipt I signed. I do not like to jump to conclusions, but I know that I didn't know leave a tip, so I believe someone at the restaurant took it upon themselves to add a tip to the ticket (...yes I did put a line through the tip area). Although the amount was not large (under $5), it is a fact of having money stolen that is upsetting. read more
